SQUADRON SAILS SOUTH ROJESTVENSKY GOES TO MEET DIVISION UNDER NEBOGAT- OFF'S COMMAND. ; LATTER ESCAPES JAPANESE FLEET i NUMBER OF FAST CRUISERS AND TORPEDO BOATS TRIED TO HEAD HIM OFF. St. Petersburg, May 6:—Admiral Ro- Jestvensky, according to a high naval authority, has sailed south to meet the division of the Russian Second Pacifi¢ { squadron commanded by Admiral Ne- bogatoff. The admiralty has informa- tion that a Japanese division of fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers | was sent south for the purpose of pos- sibly destroying Nebogatoff's ships be- i fore they could effect a junction with | those of Rojestvensky and there is rea- | son to believe that the Japanese took | up a position in the straits of Sunda, through which Nebogatoff originally ntended to make the passage into the i North sea. There is also reason to be- ! lieve that Nebogatoff first approached ! the straits of Sunda, but finding them : too well guarded put about and head- ed north for the straits of Malacca, | his division lacking the protection of | fast cruisers and being at a great d advantage in meeting torpedo boat at- ta(‘hs | The admiralty expresses much grati- | fication at the fact that Admiral Ne- bogatoff has successfully reached the China sea, but appreciates that the composition of his division renders it particularly vulnerable to a swift ad- versary, especially as the crews of his ships have not had the training in { maneuvering or the target practice which Admiral Rojestvensky’s crews had while off the island of Madagascar and the anxiety here will only be com- pletely relieved when it is known that a junction has been effected. JAPS DEEPLY RESENTFUL. Tokio Press Charges France With Bad Faith. Tokio, May 6.—Popular attention is now centered on the presence of the Second Russfan Pacific squadron in French wate ‘While the assurances of France relating to the Kamranh bay incident were generally accepted the later discovery that the Russian ships continued their stay at Kam- rauh bay and then entered other French ports has created a feeling of keen disappointment, rapidly growing deeply vresentful. The local press charges France with bad faith and re- peats the demands for independent ac- tion upon the part of the Japancse government. The conservative ele- ment is awaiting France's response in explanation, hoping that that govern- ment will finally expel Russian Rear Admiral Ro]estveml y from its waters. RUSSIA MAY PROTEST. Japanese Said to Have Made Use of Dutch Waters. St. Petershurg, May 6.—THe foreign office is closed and it is impossible at this hour to ascertain whether Russia will protest to the government of The Netherlands against the reported pres- ence of Japanese warships in neutral ‘waters of Dutch Borneo. The admiralty had intormation to the effect that Japanese cruisers were watching the straits of Sunda, lying in wait for Ad- miral Nebogatoff, and it is possible that they made use of the waters of Dutch Borneo. Said to Have Sailed May 3. Saigon, Cochin-China, May 6.—The Russian division near Honkoke bay, a |shml distance north of Kamranh l)a » was May 2 preparing to Jeave its moor- imgs the following day.

SHERIFF .AIDS IN PRESERVING -PEACE DELIVERIES MADE BY WHOLESAL- ERS AND RETAILERS WITH LITTLE INTERFERENCE. Chicago, May 6.—Sheriff Barrett has sworn in 200 deputies, who, with 2,000 policemen on strike duty, are believed by Mayor Dunne and the sheriff to be sufficient to preserve the peace in the streets. There have been minor additions to the ranks of the strikers by the re- fusal of drivers of several firms not heretofore involved to.deliver goods to the boycotted stores. The retail stores increased their de- liveries in the residence district with very little interference. Scarcely any difficulty was experienced in making deliveries to the wholesale and retail merchants down town. The produce dealers are taikiaz of closing their stores because press companies are still un deliver shipments of butter, e :2: from the country. President Shea of the T a g’ union las issued a statemen: ¢ that the Employers’ association, by bringing colored men from the South, are trying to incite violence in order to crusli unionism.

'Ishreat to Call Out Troops Proves Beneficial. Chicago, May 6.—Bluntly warned by Sheriffl I'homas E. Bafrett that troops would be asked for by him it police and deputies together proved unable to controi violence strike sympathizers were iess in evidence about the many strikebound stores and stables during the day. A distinct innovation was | made by the police, Chief O'Neill is- sued a general order to Hrrest all per- sons following police guarded wagons. “When the strike first broke out,” said Chief O'Neill, “persons followed the wagons out of curiosity. Now they follow them to incite riot. There wili be no discrimination by the police in such cases in making arrests.” For possibly the first time since the strike began a caravan of coal wagone manned by nonunion colored teamsters traversed the center of the city abso- lutely unmolested. The caravan con- sisted of sixteen wagons en route from the stables of the Employers' Teaming {company at Righteenth and State streets Lo the Daniels Coal company yards at the foot of South Water street. Not a jeer was heard as the wagons moved along the streets. The | wagons were loaded with coal and then escorted to various office build- ings and department stores in the busi- ness district. Retailers Make Deliveries. A canvass of the State street shop- ping district showed that delivery ‘wagons were sent out from nearly every retail store. In many cases po- licemen furnished with light runabout buggies accompanied the wagons. The general rt{sumptiou of deliveries of goods to residences, though on a greatly restricted scale, was in de- ! cided contrast to results on previous days when such trafic had almost reached the vanishing point. Bricks and baseball bats were used with a bloodletting effect in Dearborn street, near Nineteenth. Nearly a score of negroes, all nonunion men of the Employers’ Teaming company, pre- paring to take out wagons to transfer goods for various establishments, were attacked by a mob of strike sympathiz- ers. Several men were hurt, one se- verely. The worst sufferer is Harry Jameson, a bystander, whose head was cut open with a baseball bat. Jameson was taken to a hospital; where sur- | geons said he had little chance of re- covery. A squad of police with swing- ing clubs dispersed the riotérs after beating many men over the head. Two thousand men constituted the police force available for strike duty during the day. With this number the police officials expected to guard 1,200 wagons. Renewed confidence ‘was experienced by the police officials in their ability to exercise a reasoun- able degree of control, taking into con- | sideration tumultuous conditions in- evitable to a great labor disturbance. PICKETS KEEP CLOSE WATCH. Street Car Powerhouses Threatened With Coal Famine. L Chicago, April 6.—The fuel supply of the Union Traction company, which controls over half the street car lines in Chicago, was placed in jeopardy during the day. Pickets of the Team- sters’ union were on duty all night to i prevent shipments being made to six big powerhouses supplied with coal by he Peabody company, an ally of the Employers” Teaming association.
